>>
>> LINDWORM This classification is wingless but has feet. They cannot

>> WYVERN This classification is both winged and footed and probably the

>> and run and could win a horse race without even getting winded. The
>> Wyvern's energies dart from place to place, once here and then there.
>> Another wonderful protection when someone is trying to get into your
>> psychic space.
>>
>> GUIVERE This classification is footless, wingless, but has fins.
>> (Think Nessie! She's just a very old Dragon who inhabits Loch Ness in

>> NOTE: Dragons often breed with other classifications, and you my find
>> yourself with variations of all sorts of combinations of wings, feet,
>> tails and other dragon characteristics. It just makes Dragon Lore all
>> that fascinating.
>>
>> SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
>> Scientists of the carbon based persuasion have attempted to
>> reconstruct dragon bones and have brought forth many theories about
>> them.
>> The dragons are still laughing.
>> You may be one of the lucky ones who has several dragons, whether it's

>> decided that you Really Need Watching.
>> And you may have one of each, or at least a couple from different
>> classifications and this is a truly wonderful thing, as each Dragon
>> will play his/her special part in your life.
>> DRAGON NAMES
>> Listen closely. Each dragon has a very special name, or several AKA's
>> given to them as they develop their dragon personas. Listen again, and
>> then listen some more.
>> When your dragon gets comfortable with you, he/she will whisper that
>> special name. (They already know yours!)
>>
>> GUARDIANS/HATCHLINGS
>> The guardians range in size from the size of a dragonfly or sometimes
>> smaller to the size of small dogs. And to keep you constantly
>> surprised, they love to shapeshift into all sorts of creatures, sizes
>> and hues. Be careful where you step, lest a small tail find itself
>> under your foot.
>> They take it all very seriously, and you must too, as an angry dragon
>> is not, let me assure you, a pleasant spirit to behold. (Remember,
>> they do breath fire and direct the flames at you if taken lightly.)
>>
>> SCALE OF THE DRAGON DEFENSE
>> When you feel threatened, pull hand sized dragon scales up from you
>> feet, all around your body, over your head. Envision them as mirror
>> finished, facing outward toward your antagonist, and the threat will
>> simply be mirrored right back at who or whatever is threatening you.
>> And both you and your dragon can have a great laugh at the cause of
>> all this concern.
>>
>> PROPER DRAGON BEHAVIOR
>> Being very elusive creatures, as well as being way too polite to
>> intrude, dragons come only when summoned, or in the event that someone
>> or something is threatening the mortals in their care.
>> And since fully grown dragons range in size from that of a present day
>> horse, to that a medium-sized house, or even larger, (remember they
>> shape -shift at will) the sudden appearance of a flame breathing
>> Dragon is one no menacing force will ever quite get over.
>>
>> ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
>> Knowing as much as you possibly can about these archetypes, helps in

>> Type in the keyword "dragon" and your computer will go crazy telling
>> you everything it has gleaned on these fascinating creatures.
>> They inhabit every part of this and surely other Galaxies and no
